If you loved Skyhooks, you gotta love Shirl, not cause he's no longer with us, but when he was around he was an all round good bloke, humble witty and jovial. R.I.P. Shirl the Curl
Yes Shirley (Graeme) I wholeheartedly agree that we did have much more fun with the bands in the '70s because they didn't take themselves so seriously or try to change the world! Those were the days when we could dance on the plastic chairs in the wooden concert halls like the Horden Pavilion and sing along. When he said it was time to reform before they passed away, I felt my heart tug.
It’s sad how they compare themselves with the doors and Hendrix in regard to the youth rediscovering old rock music. No one outside of Australia would have known who you are or even cared because Skyhooks were never on that international scope. It’s delusional. You managed to buy a house or two on your own soil from doing it so take that, smile and go home. Hendrix ffs. Jesus wept.
They never compared themselves to the Doors or Hendrix clown??? He mentioned young audiences finding the older bands, which is 100% what they are.Not once did they mention worldwide , globally?? Don't put your own ignorant views into something that was never there. Then add their financial situation???? You wldnt know crap , just keep being a bitter insecure twat. jealousy is a curse clown.
@@controloz3310 ..they were a great Oz' band who sang about Oz life&issues....,,i grew up on the Doors & Hendrix too & Zepplin & small faces,Beatles,Stones.. etc etc,,they wernt compairing themselves at all,,just influences we were all lucky to have had......i was never a Big Hooks fan but in these later years i do appreciate how tight they were & how good those old suburban tunes are.........(im a muso & been playing live 40+ yeas now,,') ........'respect''

I love this, even though I cried when Mr Strachan said they wanted to reform before they died.
Shirl died in 2001 in a helicopter crash I like U and still am devastated 💙
yep that's why I cry 💙
I caught my breath too
Thanks for the awesome memories am passing the music onto the grandkids n great grandkids they love the music !!
And tour they did; saw them at Cramers in Preston, would have been mid-December 1990... the place just went off.
Greg was a genius as he wrote about what he saw around him.
Indeed. He really was the mastermind of Skyhooks
@@leopoldonotarianni8663 He was amazing as he wrote about what was going on a round him . Neil Diamond said that is how to truly write a song .

thanks Mr G
glad you enjoyed it.
Shirl was all about fun.
How come you never see John- Michael Howson and Alan Jones in the same room together?
Shirl: Relaxed , you on speed or something?
